Cannabis Corruption

<p>Two legal stories, equally ridiculous: (1) A former mayor Massachusetts was convicted of corruption after prosecutors alleged he engaged in a bribery scheme in which he solicited payments from cannabis companies in exchange for licenses.</p> <p>(2) It was ruled in Mississippi that the MMJ initiative was invalid because it didn’t meet the state’s initiative process requiring that 20% of the signatures come from each of five congressional districts.</p> <p>The problem is that Mississippi went from five to four congressional districts after the 2000 Census, whether with intent, by oversight, or for some other reason, the ballot-initiative process cannot work in a world where Mississippi has fewer than five representatives in Congress.</p> <p>“It’s a sad day for Mississippi when the Supreme Court communicates to a vast majority of the voters that their vote doesn’t matter.”</p> <p>Show Notes:<br /> Ex-Massachusetts mayor found guilty of cannabis bribery scheme<br /> https://mjbizdaily.com/daily-news/#ex-massachusetts-mayor-jasiel-correia-found-guilty-of-cannabis-bribery-scheme<br /> Mississippi high court voids voter-ratified medical cannabis legalization measure<br /> https://mjbizdaily.com/mississippi-supreme-court-voids-voter-ratified-medical-cannabis-legalization-measure/</p> <p>Host:<br /> Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst & host of your cannabis business podcast.<br /> https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshkincaid/</p> <p>Episode 720 of The Talking Hedge:<br /> Your Cannabis Business Podcast.<br /> ​Covering cannabis products, reviews, business news, interviews, investments, events, and more.<br /> https://www.theTalkingHedgepodcast.com</p> <p>Music Info:<br /> Song: Beat | Keep On | 2020<br /> Artist: Milochromatic Beats<br /> &<br /> Song: Dark Trap Beats Hard Rap Instrumental | Gang | 2018<br /> Artist: LuxrayBeats</p> <p>Keywords:<br /> Hemp News, Weed News, Cannabis News, Marijuana News, Cannabis Business, Marijuana Business, Cannabis Industry News, Marijuana Industry News, Weed News 420, Talking Hedge P
